This month is by far the busiest month and to say that I am glad its over is an understatement. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MAY, its one of my favorite months. But I'm ready for school to be out, I'm ready for the summer fun, I'm ready for warm weather, I'm for the park, splash pad and lake.

Here are some things I didn't ever blog about, because life flies by you and before you know it, its the 31st.

First thing:

Two weeks ago I bought the boys their Birthday gifts. Jax has been dying to have rollerblades, I wasn't sure about it at first and didn't want to get them, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought...WHY NOT?

Ashton decided her wanted rollerskates for his Birthday and so I took care of both of their Birthday presents at that time. Three Birthdays in one month can just about kill you.

Next thing:

Lex had her three year old well child check, we got both bad news and good news, it never fails, I guess we are suppose to keep Primary Children's in business.

The Good:

She is in the 52 percentile for weight and the 92 percentile for height, poor girl unfortunately is going to be super tall. Doctor said she is EXTREMELY smart, talks so well and he is amazed at how far she has come and how much she does for being a preemie. Sometimes I have to remind myself she was born 6 weeks early.

The bad:

Her heart sounds bad again, it could mean a number of things. The doctor was sure the murmur would NEVER close up, but he wasn't worried. He said it sounds like her pulmonary stenosis is back also. The PDA and PFO are the murmur and they will either close up later or never and they will only do something about it if she starts having problems. So back to cardiology we go.

The other bad news, she is also seeing an orthopedic surgeon at Primarys. I never thought this condition would last longer than 2 honestly, so I never worried about it. But her hips ache and her feet, she turns in her right foot pretty bad and throws it when she runs. So it could mean that hip surgery is in Lex near future. I am not worrying myself YET. I know how this crazy medical stuff goes. I get myself worried and it all works out. We'll just deal with it as it goes.

Lex is doing good, so thats part of the reason for not worrying. She is a normal 3 year old girl full of life.

Other random stuff:

I've been reading these books, amazing and hard to put down is what I can say without giving away too much.

And today, I took all three monkeys to the splash pad, they loved it.

Not the best pictures, I left my camera at home and well Instagram seems to be the popular thing right now.

Other random things:

Jax had water day and I called it, I said he would be soak and wet and well.....HE WAS SOAK AND WET!!!

And last week, Misty and I went shopping at City Creek, loved it and I got some super cute cheap earrings. I wasn't sure about going there, everyone talked about it only having expensive stores, but I found the best deals there. My new favorite store is H&M.

My sweet sweet boy, I can't believe you're EIGHT, that seems so old. Its half way to 16 and I don't like that. I'll never forget the day I became your Mom. You were sent to me for a reason. I know you think I am hard on you, but I only want the best. I want you to have the best, recieve the best and hope for the best. I want your dreams to become reality.

Today you advised me that you were going to work for the FBI, in a way I was worried, but I see it in you Jaxon. You are so much like me that I often wonder if its me growin upp all over again. You are stubborn, determined, sweet, whole hearted, loving and CARING. I love all the qualities about you. I love that no matter what, you NEVER GIVE UP. Its the one thing I have taught you that you haven't left behind. I love that your goal was to get better at math this year and you did. I love that you try your hardest at school. I love that you like school, but did advise over the weekend that you "needed a break!"

Please sweet boy, don't rush time. Don't rush to be 10 and 16 and 18 and 21 and then before you know life is tough, its all about REALITY, the real stuff. Its about LIFE. Stay eight, enoy being eight, love eight and look forward to NINE, but don't rush it.

I love you LOVEBUG, BUBS, my PEANUT, my oldest and MY BOY to the MOON AND BACK A MILLION BILLION TIMES.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. --Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

This is our story

The 3 loves of my life

Leaning on Faith....

In July 2009 my Husband was diagnosed with Tetrology of Fallot, something that should've been taken care of as a child. But a miracle happened and he made it this long. He had open heart surgery on July 17th, 2009 and today, he is the healthiest he has ever been.

In September our little girl was diagnosed with Pulmonary Stenosis with a PDA and PFO. Right now she is being watched by Primary Childrens until things get worse or better. We are praying for the best.

On March 24th, 2010 we found out that our little girls heart healed on its own. We have found that miracles do happen and prayers do work. We feel blessed and happy, but couldn't have done it without all the wonderful people who prayed for us and cared.
